2017 Renault Clio 1.6L Petrol · YA17 CVJ

The vehicle currently presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable and improving maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted in January 2026 at 40,637 miles resulted in no recorded defects, marking a significant departure from previous advisories. This transition to a clean record suggests that the owner has addressed identified mechanical issues and that the vehicle is currently meeting all minimum safety standards. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per annum. There is a visible gap in records between June 2022 and January 2024, where the car covered only 1,447 miles over eighteen months. Since early 2024, usage has increased slightly, covering 10,526 miles in two years. This low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, though long periods of inactivity can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components and fluid seals through lack of use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear braking system. The records from 2021 and 2022 consistently flagged both nearside and offside rear brake discs as pitted or scored. While these were likely replaced or rectified given the clean results in subsequent tests, the recurring nature of this fault suggests the discs are prone to corrosion, likely due to the low mileage and infrequent braking. Inspect the rear calipers for signs of seizing and ensure the current discs show a smooth surface free of heavy surface pitting.
